Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 617

Hearing this, Yulia glanced at Charlotte coldly.

After staring at Charlotte for a moment, Yulia looked at Rachel, who was sitting below the stage. Yulia’s eyes narrowed slightly, and coldness could not be concealed from her eyes. Below the stage, Mary vaguely sensed something and hurriedly turned on her phone.

What greeted Olivia’s eyes was the news of Olivia and Louis’s engagement. Mary browsed through it expressionlessly until she saw the gown Olivia was wearing. Mary frowned. “Rae-Rae!”

Rachel also picked up her phone, but her movements were not as fast as Mary’s.

Rachel lowered her eyes to look at Mary’s phone. Her gaze landed on the gown Olivia was wearing in the video. Rachel narrowed her eyes, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

“What’s going on?” Mary pursed her lips and gripped her phone tightly. “How did Winnie know your draft design?”

Rachel’s draft design had always been kept separately by herself, so the design drawings would never be leaked.

Moreover, the staff in the studio were all old employees. They would definitely not do anything to help outsiders just for a little benefit.

In that case, how could the gown Winnie designed to be almost identical to that of Rachel?

There were two reasons to say the two gowns were almost identical. Firstly, there was a certain disparity in the craftsmanship of the two gowns. Secondly, although the gown designed by Winnie was beautiful, it lacked a little elegance.

Strictly speaking, the two gowns were just similar in form but not in nature.

Rachel’s charming eyes were filled with thoughts. After pondering for a long time, Rachel looked at Mary. “Do you remember the discarded draft design that was thrown in the cafe?” Hearing this, Mary immediately felt guilty.

Just now, Mary said confidently that they hadn’t leak the draft design, but now, Rachel’s words reminded Mary that she was wrong.

Mary cleared her throat awkwardly and silently took out her phone to contact the public relations department. “I’ll contact the studio immediately to handle the public relations

matter!”

Soon, the studio issued a statement. “The designer in the studio, Queen, was entrusted by Yulia Wand to design the wedding dress. After many modifications, Queen finally designed the wedding dress this time. However, we discovered that Winnie Yule’s design is extremely similar to this wedding dress. The similarity has already constituted plagiarism. We request Winnie Yule to apologize! We also call on everyone to support the original and resist plagiarism!”

As this statement was released, the comments section instantly was filled with the public’s opinions.

“Do you know this studio? I have never heard of it. How dare they scam Winnie?”

“I’ve never seen someone as shameless as them. They even came up with such a despicable move just to gain public attention!”

“Since you said it was plagiarism, show us the evidence.”

“Without any evidence to say it, can we sue you for spreading rumors and framing?”

“Although Raimant Collection has only been developing for a short period of time, it has always been sought after by domestic and foreign celebrities. Any clothes designed by Queen are very hard to buy. Please understand before saying it, anti-fans. Thank you!” As long as Raimant Collection’s true fans defended the brand, they would be scolded badly. “What bullshit hard to buy. It’s just hunger marketing!”

“If Queen is really as amazing as you say, why didn’t she participate in the fashion competition?”

“Miss Yule is the champion of the fashion competition and a publicly acknowledged genius designer in the industry. Who do you think you are?”

Looking at the netizens who were distorting the truth in the comments section, Mary was so angry that her fingers were trembling. “Back then, I told you to participate in the fashion competition, but you refused. Now, you’re being blamed. We don’t even have a way to explain!”

“You think I need those?” Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and clapped along with the applause around her.

Mary glared at Rachel angrily.

Mary knew that Rachel had never cared about fame and profit.

Moreover, with Rachel’s identity as the Johnson family’s young lady, she looked down on the little fame and profit in the design industry.

Rachel did not care about Winnie who was praised as a god-like existence at all. Otherwise, with Winnie’s standards, she could never get the title of a genius designer.

“Miss Grey Charlotte walked to Rachel’s side. “Miss Wand invites you to the lounge. She has something important to discuss with you.”

Rachel glanced at Charlotte indifferently. “Got it.”

Five minutes later, Rachel arrived at the lounge.

As soon as Rachel entered, Yulia questioned coldly, “Miss Grey, shouldn’t you explain to me how your draft design ended up in Winnie’s hands?”

Hearing this, Mary and Rachel were slightly stunned.

This inexplicable trust was like a sudden warm current that poured into Rachel’s heart. Rachel felt flattered and suddenly felt like she was in a dream.

Mary restrained the surprise in her eyes. “You believe that Winnie plagiarized Rae-Rae?”

“Even a child has the ability to distinguish right from wrong.” Yulia kept enlarging the photo of Olivia in the gown. There was a hint of mockery in Yulia’s eyes, and her tone was rather arrogant. “Besides, this gown doesn’t suit her

There was no doubt about that.

Since the gown was tailor-made for Yulia, its style naturally matched Yulia’s temperament.

Now, Olivia did look beautiful in the dress. But Olivia lacked a cold and arrogant temperament. It was like a thief wearing a queen’s wedding dress. It was incongruous.

“I…”

Before Rachel could finish speaking, Charlotte barged in with a flustered expression. “Miss Wand, bad news! I don’t know who leaked the photos of the wedding venue. Now, the photos of you wearing this gown are posted online. People compared you with Olivia. The comments section is in a mess.”

When the three of them in the room heard this, their faces suddenly darkened.

Rachel glanced at her phone, and her eyes turned cold.

“What should we do now?” Charlotte looked at Yulia, not knowing what to do.

Rachel put away her phone and said calmly, “I’m going to prove my innocence!”

With that, Rachel turned around and left.

At this moment, the paparazzi who had heard the news had already surrounded Yulia’s wedding venue.

Ever since Yulia debuted, she had won countless awards both domestically and abroad. Coupled with the temperament Yulia had honed over the years, she had always been known by fans as Queen Wand.

Yulia had always been a superior person, but now she was involved in the center of public opinion just because of a gown. This was what the onlookers wanted to see the most.

No one wanted to miss this opportunity to embarrass Yulia. They carried their cameras and aimed at the entrance.

Seeing the situation, Rachel frowned slightly.

Mary tried to squeeze out with Rachel, but she was hit by someone’s camera in the forehead. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Are you alright?” Rachel looked at Mary with a frown.

Mary shook her head. “We have to think of a way to get out of here.”

Otherwise, even if they had a plan, they would not be able to carry it out.

At this moment, a group of men in black appeared one after another. They cut the crowd in half like a sharp ax and made way for Rachel and Mary from the middle.
